Clara Lara

An awesome outdoor adventure park in County Wicklow (just over an hour from us). Beautiful scenery and cool obstacles, so much fun for the kids-and adults too! Kiera was over from New York, and cousins Dan, Senan, and Shauna joined us. We met Evan, Eve and Isabel and several of their friends. A Ton of Fun was had by all!

St. Mullins

A Beautiful village not too far from us. Named after St. Mullin who founded a monastery there in the early 7th century. Mags brought us out for the day, taught us some history, had yummy tea and ice cream and strolled along the river and then through the graveyard to the church. The pictures I have don't do it's justice but gives you an idea.  A place well worth visiting and we will be back.
